Visit the outdoors, indoors
There's plenty happening around the tourism, heritage and World Rhino Day banner this weekend
ALL you want to know about rhino protection, tourism, heritage and the abundant art and craft talent in Zululand will be on display at the Inkwazi Boardwalk shopping centre this weekend.
Under the banner ‘Ubhejane Tourism Indaba’, a full programme of activities will take place, centred around World Rhino Day (22 September) and Heritage Day (24 September).
With a life-sized rhino display along with the 4×4 used by legendary explorer Kingsley Holgate, and the presence of the Project Rhino KZN team and a host of their supporters, Saturday and Sunday will be both informative and inspiring as shoppers hear of the valiant efforts made to stem the tide of rhino poaching.
Adding glamour to the start of the weekend, guest judge Mrs South Africa 2013, Fikile Mekgoe, will crown the first Miss Tourism Queen Zululand outside House & Home at 5pm.
Travel and leisure tourism exhibitions take place all weekend throughout the centre.
On Saturday and Sunday, Zikulise Community Upliftment Project workshops will be held outside the House & Home area between 11am and 2pm, featuring popular local artist Joe Marais, Linda (beading and clothing) and Thalente (baking).
There will also be prizes and giveaways including, a weekend for two people at Phinda Mountain Lodge and a getaway to Giants Castle Resort.
The area will host face painting, colouring and arts and crafts.
The Tuesday public holiday sees Heritage Day celebrated with a ‘Taste of the World Fest’ outside entrance 4, from 11am to 2pm.
Once again, there will be plenty of activities for children.
